    SMU price ranges: HRC flat, other products slip

    Written by Brett Linton & David Schollaert

    Sheet prices were flat or moderately down again this week – underscoring the shift in momentum we’ve seen over the last month. The exception was hot-rolled (HR) coil, which was largely unchanged from last week.

    SMU’s average HR coil price remains at $815 per short ton (st), sideways week over week (w/w). Our average cold-rolled coil price is $1,120/st (down $10/st w/w). Our galvanized base price is $1,120/st on average (down $10/st w/w), while our Galvalume price now stands at $1,100/st on average (down $10/st w/w).
